QUI TAM Relator Communication Form

We work hard to understand every client’s hopes, desires, and concerns, and the sometimes-rocky shoals of litigation. This is particularly important in our whistleblower cases, which last for years and involve highly-complex legal and factual issues.

Big case prosecution is what Qui Tam and False Claims Act legal work entails. Volkema Thomas is one of a few U.S. law firms handling significant Qui Tam, False Claims Act and Whistleblower litigation as part of its national practice.

Relators (whistleblowers) are assured of confidentiality throughout these complex and highly-technical legal developments that require a working relationship between Qui Tam counsel and government fraud counsel and investigators.

Comments or Remarks


To whom would you like to send your inquiry?


If you have filled out the entire questionnaire and are ready to send it, please read the following. By providing you these materials and by reviewing the information you send, Volkema Thomas has not agreed to represent you nor have you agreed to retain Volkema Thomas. A False Claims Act lawsuit can, and usually does, take a number of years from start to finish. When we accept a case, we make a major commitment in terms of personnel, money and other resources to bring it to a successful conclusion. Because of that commitment, we conduct thorough analyses of potential cases before we accept them. Our review to determine whether your case is viable and our decision whether to accept it may take some time for several reasons. Before we commit ourselves to representing someone, we thoroughly analyze the applicability of the False Claims Act to the potential case. This process may include an investigation of the facts presented and sometimes consultations with experts in the field. At the same time, we must continue to work on our existing cases and conduct reviews of other potential lawsuits. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time about the status of our review of your potential case. Part of our analysis of your potential case will focus on practical considerations. Cases may be too small or too unsubstantiated (and therefore too risky) to justify the commitment of our firm's resources. If our time constraints do not fit your needs, you may wish to discuss your potential case with other counsel. Other law firms may approach the investigation of a potential False Claims Act case differently, such as filing a lawsuit at an earlier date with less substantiation than Volkema Thomas requires, or may have more time and resources instantly available to investigate a potential case. As you search for counsel, bear in mind that the statute of limitations can be as short as six years. In addition, any public disclosure of the fraudulent conduct, the filing of another False Claims Act lawsuit making the same charges or government action on the matter before your lawsuit is filed might be grounds for dismissal of a case. Please be aware that our thorough and selective approach to case analysis may present added risks that one of these events might occur before we are in a position to decide whether to represent you and file a lawsuit on your behalf. If you would like Volkema Thomas to review your potential case and you have filled out the above questionnaire, please acknowledge that you have read the above considerations and agree to them by entering your name and the date below:
